Energy-Efficient Grain Drying Resources

Please note: This ATTRA publication has been archived or discontinued. Therefore, the information contained in it may not be up to date.

Introduction

This publication summarizes two low-impact technologies used to dry grain; natural-air drying and solar drying. Although not as much recent research has focused on solar technology for grain drying, solar was shown by University of Maryland studies to be feasible for small- and medium-size facilities for drying grain for on-farm use.

ATTRA - A National Sustainable Agriculture Assistance Program - is developed and managed by the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT).
